Question

Transposition of the great vessels (TGV) is rare but typically results in the pulmonary trunk and aorta developing in transposed positions. In other words, the aorta drains the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk drains the left ventricle. If everything else is normal about the heart, what problem(s) would be associated with the transposition of the aorta and pulmonary trunk? Select all that apply.A) The right side of the heart would transport Oxygenated blood, whereas the left side would transport deoxygenated blood. B) Oxygenated blood from the left ventricle would be sent back to the lungs instead of out to the other tissues of the body C) All blood would remain deoxygenated. D) Deoxygenated blood would be sent back out to the tissues of the body without getting oxygen. E) Deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle would travel to the lungs, Oxygenated blood would travel from the right ventricle out through the aorta

Answer 1

Answer:  The correct answer is : B) Oxygenated blood from the left ventricle would be sent back to the lungs instead of out to the other tissues of the body

D) Deoxygenated blood would be sent back to body tissues without getting oxygen.

Explanation:  Oxygenated blood that does not enter the body turns blue, newborns who take this color are called cyanotic. The basic problems when transposition of the great arteries occurs is that oxygen-rich blood returns to the lungs and oxygen-poor blood is transported to the rest of the body.
